DD-8+

The Lexicon® DD-8+ is an advanced multi-channel amplifier with network controlled matrix routing and multi-channel digital signal processing (DSP) that provides a pallete sound shaping controls and system configuration tools. The DD-8+ features award winning DriveCore™ amplifier technology, eight powered channels of 125 Watts each, and a chassis of only one rack space height. Featuring ten analog and four stereo digital audio inputs, an ESS Sabre 32 high-resolution DAC, plus the ability to configure and control the amplifier from major web browsers.

POWERFULThe Lexicon® DD8+ utilizes patented DriveCore™ amplifier technology to deliver plenty of power from a sleek compact design, while operating with amazing efficiency. With eight channels @125 watts each (all channels driven) the DD-8+ has enough juice to easily drive the most demanding speakers. Powerful DSP including 10-band parametric eq and limiting per channel, preamplifier functionality, along with an audiophile grade hi res 24 bit/192khz DAC ensures the DD-8+ delivers pristine audio quality to every room.

DriveCore™ Amplifier TechnologyEstablishing new standards in distributed audio sound quality, the proprietary and multi-patented DriveCore™ amplifier technology inside the DD-8+ was developed by HARMAN as a joint venture with Texas Instruments. A HARMAN DriveCore™ is significantly less complex than a traditional class D amplifier circuit. DriveCore™ seamlessly integrates the amplifier drive stage into the power output stage effectively replacing 500+ discrete components of a typical clad D design with a single silicon circuit no larger than a dime. This breakthrough technology is what allows the DD-8+ to deliver 1000 watts of crystal-clear audio from a cool running, single rack space unit that weighs less than 10 lbs.

SENSIBLEThe Lexicon DD8+ encompasses HARMAN GreenEdge™ environmentally friendly technology, for low power consumption and low heat emission. The system’s high-efficiency, convection-cooled design allows up to five units to be stacked with just a single vent space above. The DD-8+ complies with the half-watt standby power consumption standards, and uses less power during normal operation than most traditional amplifiers do at idle. The amplifier has feedback and protection circuits incorporated into the DriveCore™ chip, and can switch to low-power standby mode when not in use for even lower energy consumption.

DYNAMICLexicon® has a rich history in professional digital audio processing, and Lexicon® products are found in the vast majority of world class recording studios. This Grammy winning pedigree is evident in the DD-8+ with design elements that reflect the exceptional commitment to superior sound quality that Lexicon is famous for. From the ESS Sabre32, 32-bit Hyperstream DAC with a Time Domain Jitter Eliminator, to the extremely accurate EQ, filters, and dynamic processing, combined with the super-efficient DriveCore™ amplifier circuitry, the Lexicon® DD-8+ offers unequalled dynamic range, ultra-low distortion, and unmatched audio clarity.
